Kisna Diamond and Gold Jewellery has created history by entering the Guinness World Records™ through the successful organisation of the Kisna Diamond Marathon across 55 cities.
The Kisna Diamond Marathon, a flagship initiative of Hari Krishna Exports Pvt. Ltd. (HK) under the theme Run for Swachh Bharat, has been officially recognised by Guinness World Records™ for conducting a 5 km race simultaneously in 55 cities across India on 28 December 2025. The prestigious honour was formally conferred at a felicitation ceremony held on 7 January, marking a significant milestone in the event’s journey of nationwide engagement and social responsibility.
Organised by Kisna Diamond Jewellery, a brand of the HK Group, the marathon united participants from major metros, developing cities, and rural regions alike. The event reinforced the message of ‘Swachh Bharat, Swasth Bharat’ through meticulous planning, seamless coordination, and widespread public participation.
The 10th edition of the Kisna Diamond Marathon witnessed the participation of more than 20,000 runners across the country, with synchronised flag-offs, standardised race protocols, and well-structured coordination at all locations. The initiative continues to promote the integration of physical fitness with social consciousness while supporting community-driven cleanliness efforts.

Today, it has expanded to 55 cities, where winners are honoured with natural diamonds. When the Hon’ble Prime Minister learns that a Guinness World Record has been achieved by HK from our nation, it will be a moment of immense pride for India.”
